have a small workflow that performs agent assignment using userid's. In
this workflow, the workflow is assigned to a clerical person (userid = A) to be
worked. It goes thru an approval process and depending on the decision,
follows a path which executes a background task. If the dollar amount
> $500, a second approval is needed by the supervisor (userid = B) and then
it goes down the path of background tasks depending on the decision.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

my problem. User A manually forwards their workflow using the
Forward icon to another user (userid = C) who is also a possible
agent. It now appears correctly in user C's inbox. However, when
user C works the wf, since the next workitem in the flow is assigned to User A,
it goes back into User A's Inbox. So user C can't complete the workflow
which defeats the purpose of forwarding.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

seems to me that I want to capture the userid from the workflow header and pass
